Possible explosion at the finish line for the Boston Marathon?

Oak- so glad you and your DH are safe, and thank you for sharing the positive things you saw.


It is impossible for rational people to truly understand how the irrational mind thinks- and the sociopathy that underlies the ability to plan and carry out such devastating, horrible events.

We need to be buoyed up by the way that both trained professionals and caring strangers acted to help afterwards.

What you said Oak reminds me of this quote:

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
― Fred Rogers

I am really glad that you and your DH are fine, Oakleaf. Glad too that Crankin and Shefly are accounted for. I was luckily not at the marathon this year. Yet, it feels strange that an event that I grew up with has been marred in this way. What a stressful 24 hours. So far, knock on wood, all my peeps seem to be safe. I must admit that I am sort of in a daze; however, as a Bostonian I am amazed at the outpouring of well wishes for our city and people.
